Cookers for the Bible College



Recently, thanks to some generous gifts from some inidividuals and our TZ missionary colleagues, we were able to purchase two new cookers for the Mwanza Bible College.

Our two cooks have been cooking for about 130 people over open charcoal fires; the cost of charcoal took up about 15% of the total food expenditures.

The new cookers use wood instead of charcoal and are energy efficient; they are insulated in such a way that it takes far less wood to cook the food and the food takes less time to cook.

Our cooks are thrilled with the new cookers and the Business Manager is happy to be able to put more money towards providing food for the students.

The picture above shows the old way of cooking, using the open charcoal fire. The picture below shows the new cookers that are much more cost and energy efficient.
